On November 11th, the PAACS Galmi General Surgery Residency Program graduated our 10th graduate, Dr. Sadock Irankunda from Burundi. We were excited to celebrate the ceremony with Dr. Joe Starke, the first program director, and his wife Mame who were founding members. Dr. Starke was able to share a message about the purpose of PAACS and encourage our residents and graduate. Dr. Irankunda was praised for his example of love of God and prayer, his compassionate and gentle spirit with patients and fellow residents, and his flexibility and joy even despite difficulties. We are excited for how God is going to continue to guide Dr. Irankunda, his wife Albine, and children Asa and Eran as they continue to serve Him.
